Context. Understanding the relation between the attenuation and the gas is fundamental for interpreting the appearance of galaxies. This can now be done down to a local scale in the local Universe, thanks to the high spatial resolution achievable from the farultraviolet (FUV) to the far-infrared (FIR). More importantly, this relation is also crucial for predicting the emission of galaxies. This...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between central adiposity and cognitive function. However, only some of these studies have adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease, and none have also adjusted for physical activity level. PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to examine the association between anthropometric measures of central adiposity ...

Rhinovirus type 15 passaged three times in WI-38 cells produced illness in only one of 35 volunteers, but infection resulted in formation of significant quantities of antibodies in the serums of 100%, and in nasal secretions of 89%, of infected volunteers. The inoculum contained large- (60%) and small- (40%) plaque variants. "Purified" large- and small-plaque inocula were prepared, and each was...

the introduction of ex vivo lung perfusion (evlp) in the practice of lung transplantation has allowed the reconditioning of the marginal grafts and their conversion into transplantable grafts. in addition, evlp can provide a platform for the application of various preventive measures to decrease the incidence of post-transplant complications. while the toronto team targets the attenuation of th...

Introduction: Protecting the vital organs in radiation therapy is one of the most important issues. Cerrobend alloy, the most common material used as the shield, is melted several times and used for different patients. In this study changes in attenuation coefficient of cerrobend due to melting was investigated.   Materials and Methods: In melting furnace, ...

background: haemonchus contortus causes severe economic losses in small ru-minants, so this study was conducted to study the uv effect on h. contortus larvae and its protective effect. methods: sixteen male goats were divided into 5 groups, control infected, con-trol uninfected and uv 30minutes exposure; uv 60minutes exposure and uv booster 60minutes exposure. the uv groups were exposed to uv i...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa aim: ct number (hu) and linear attenuation coefficient contain useful information which  can be determined during usual ct scanning for the prediction of breast cancerous cells existence based on hemoglobin concentration. methods: this study used breast phantom containing major and minor vessels with diameters of 10 and 5 mm, respectively. the major...

Using GALFORM, a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation in the cold dark matter cosmology, we study the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) colours of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in the redshift range 2.5 ≤ z ≤ 10. As the impact of dust on UV luminosity can be dramatic, our model includes a self-consistent computation of dust attenuation based on a radiative transfer model. We find that intrinsicall...
